    How do you like the ozonics? I’ve been curious about those units?

    I got the Ozonics four years ago. I think it is money well spent, have had many mature deer walk in downwind of me while using it. I can honestly say that my experience has been positive when using it. Borrow one from a friend if you can and try it a few times, see what you think.

    Saw multiple doe, fawns and small bucks. Did not see any of the big guys, slept in this morning and will hit the woods this afternoon. Be safe out there guys.

    Well, I did my final card pull before the season starts next weekend and a couple pictures of two bucks. The one is in velvet and, in my opinion, is a whopper. He has a drop tine that looks like a pair of balls, not too big on naming dear but I have opted to call this guy Juevos. I wish the photo captured his right side because I'd like to see what that looks like, but regardless I would love to be able to see him on hoof. My father-in-law hasn't shot a buck in about ten years so as much as I'd love to get a crack at that deer, I'd love it if my father-in-law harvested him as he is over due. The other buck is a 9 pointer that I'd be more than happy to harvest, especially if I had my recurve in hand.

    It’s always fun to see what equipment everyone is using.
    - What broadhead are you using
    -What is your favorite most comfortable tree stand
    -What have you bought that was well worth it in the last 5 years.

    Broadhead- favorite magnus hornets but testing is always fun and currently trying out some Tooth of the Arrow.

    Treestand- nothing has ever beat the summit viper for me. Way too comfortable and mobility is easy.

    Purchases- probably my one piece scentlok coveralls. I wear them all year long.


    Getting pumped up guys.

    Arrow set up and broadheads are in my signature.

    I am a saddlehunter, I have tried climbers and hang-on stands. If I am up a tree, I prefer the saddle.

    Gear in the last five years-merino wool heavy weight base layers. Got them as a Christmas present, well worth it for the bulk it saves from wearing cheaper clothes and thicker layers.

    I'm trying out the NAP DK4's this year but, I will have NAP killzone in my quiver as well!
    I've been changing over to the lone wolf assualt hang on stands the last couple years.
    The lone wolf stands have defiantly been worth it I also have some first lite base layers which are great and for this season I just bought a First Lite Jacket and bibs ...Sanctuary 2 designed for those bitter cold days...we'll see how they work out!

    Seen a couple does out of range of the longbow on yesterday's opener. After the long work week and the 4:00am wake up yesterday, I decided to sleep in this morning. I've burnt myself out in the past by hunting as much as I could during the early season. I'll probably go for an evening sit after I get a couple things done around the house.
